SAFETY TIPS-Hoists

nelsonfan

Although the information provided in this section on hoists pertains specifically to cranes, these requirements should be applied to all hoisting equipment.

1.The rated load must be legibly marked on each side of the hoist.  Employees should be made aware of the weight of the load.

2.The hoist must be equipped with a self-setting brake applied to the motor shaft or some part of the gear train.

3.For powered hoists, holding brakes must be applied automatically when the power is off.

4.Hooks, chains, and all functional operating mechanisms must be inspected daily for the indication of damage and wear, and monthly records maintained.

5.Loads must not be carried over the heads of people.

6.The operator must test the brakes each time a near-capacity load is handled.  This test is done by raising the load a few inches and applying the brakes.

7.The hoist rope or chain must be free from kinks or twists and not be wrapped around the load.
